Kambi is a leading independent provider of premium sports betting technology and services to the regulated global betting and gaming industry.

Kambi had challenges with networking and traffic management, which had become fragmented and complex. This meant high levels of operational and cost overhead for managing distributed firewalls and egresses in multiple VPC´s. They had been running a fraction of its sports betting system in AWS for a couple of years when Playground Tech was assigned the project.

Playground Tech worked with Kambi engineers to design, build, and deploy a centralized egress and firewall solution, using the AWS services.

The purpose was to enable multiple VPC´s within a region, to use the same egress inspection and firewall. The solution was coded in Terraform and adheres to regulatory requirements and security guidelines on traffic inspection and network security.

As a result, today Kambi has a central and automated solution for networking and traffic management, managed by themselves, that enables development teams with DevOps capabilities to manage traffic for their production workloads in a secure and reliable way.

FirstVet is an independent digital veterinary service that offers video consultations to pet owners for advice and guidance on their pets - wherever they are.

FirstVet had challenges adopting their AWS infrastructure, tooling, and ways of working to the changing conditions within the organization. Their AWS infrastructure was mainly built manually. The purpose of the project was to assess the AWS infrastructure, tools, and ways of working from a best-practice perspective and help to close the identified gaps, so that FirstVet could move forward with their AWS and DevOps journey and, at the same time, be comfortable with the infrastructure scaling.

The solution was an assessment of the AWS infrastructure and tooling, which involved identifying security risks, misconfigurations, best-practice gaps, and cost inefficiencies. Playground Tech presented an architecture overview, technical target state, and a plan of how to move forward with the AWS journey. After that, Playground Tech, assigned as technical lead, helped with implementing tools, building new production infrastructure, and having workshops for FirstVet to be able to manage the new solution on their own.
